I hope you understand that an iceberg floating in water displaces the same volume as ice as water [1].

The relevant part of the article was talking about ice that is sitting on land. Land that is below sea level. This particular ice is not floating.
But ice pushed down under the water will increase the water level. If you melt it, the water level will be lower.
